[David Johnston2]

The Dead Boyz are a superpowered street gang made of youths most of whom found themselves unwelcome after they manifested their powers. They have carved out a small territory for themselves on the border between two large gangs, both of whom are a bit reluctant to take on supervillains...even though the Boyz are comparative lightweights who could be taken down by guys with guns if put to the test.

DOA is the leader. He has good reflexes and retractable poison claws.

Big Bad is the lieutenant. He's a humanoid werewolf, with mildly superhuman strength and decent hit points. He heals fast but not instantly.

Suicide Girl is DOA's girlfriend. She is Unkillable.

Bloody Mary has a strange relationship with mirrors. She can see through them to other mirrors, make them violently shatter, or project duplicates through to the other side.

Shiv has the power to telekinetically control his knife...that's it.

B-Devil wears a Halloween devil mask spray painted blue. He can give other people a terrible feeling of sadness.

Bandit lost an arm to trying to steal the wrong mystic artifact. Now at the end of his stump he can manifest replacement arms made out of the four elements. The fire arm can shoot fire. The water arm can put out fires and knock people over with it's fire-hose like power. The stone arm hits hard and has good DR. And the air arm...well just isn't very useful. Unless there's a heat wave.

Dead Earnest is a zombie left over from an abortive zombie apocalypse who regained his free will and some of his intelligence after the necromancer was defeated.

The Dead Boyz occasionally encounter a superhero who operates in the territory of one of the nearby gangs, Tarantula Hawk or "T-Hawk". She's a gadgeteer with extremely limited financial resources, so she has a suit of "powered armour" that is good enough to protect against low calibre pistols but not much more, can fly at about 30 mph, and is armed with an electric "sting".
